Is anyone out there who like their video even before watching.bcz u know these people are awesome

My Takeaways: 1. Read and understand 2. Do not just copy into the notes from whatever resource you are following, instead understand each point and write it in your own words. 3. It is easier for the brain to remember in terms of connections / relations, hence understand every concept with a purpose and a result. 4. reread your notes from time to time just to refresh your self. 5. When learning it's very common to find multiple resources for the same topic, do not follow all resources choose one decent resource and carry on.

Summary: Collect: Collect information from new material or previous cycles. Filter the not as useful concepts from the useful concepts. Connect: Connect the information to long-term memory. Use mind maps to physically connect ideas together. Challenge: Challenge our understanding through practice. Utilise strategies such as teaching and practice problems to find holes or misunderstandings in connections of knowledge

me studying how to study instead of studying

I am a computer science student in africa and my first year was really difficult because i didn't know how to study, my results where crap and I came to the conclusion that i was just dull and should give up on getting this degree, but ever since i started watching the videos on this channel i have understood the mistakes i made and i am now doing much better at school. Also those extra videos you guys make on different topics apart from school have helped me find a balance between school and other areas of my life. Thank you very much Cajun koi academy, much love from Zambia.❤

I regret not starting studying this way much sooner as well but it's better late than never, now I am much more optimistic about how much potential I have to learn volume of material and I thank you for that

When I was in high school and younger, I didn’t had to study or I was doing the bare minimum and still managed to succeed with really good grades. And now, I’m in university and here you can’t get away without studying. I realised that things have been so easy for me that I don’t know how to study really. So here I am, watching a video to learn how to have a more efficient study method.

Your last segment helped me look at running in a new light. While it's not studying like this channel is dedicated to, it helped me realise that part of the problem I'm facing is me. Part of my lack of direction and new progress is me wanting to shrink back into my comfort zone. It's a battle I face each and every day, but thank you for reminding me with this video to keep fighting. Love your videos. They push me to be better, think wider, and aim higher. Have a lovely week ahead! :)

The theory about information stored as a web just made me realise why mind maps made me learn things so much easier. I love remembering pieces of information by connecting them together because I remember the connection better than the information itself. It's quite useful. I also get stuck in the connect step. I never go as far as challenging my information often which is why I constantly forget the details. Also I need to start spaced repetition already, I need to keep up studying for atleast a few hours after classes everyday and explore the topics during weekends.

Please make more of these animated videos. I greatly appreciate them and they're amazing. Just like we know, the whole learning styles is complete BS and adding another sensory way of learning just makes us, the viewers, easier to grasp the concepts of what ya'll are presenting. Thank you so much Mike and Matty!

Hey Man! Just wnat to tell you that your videos are flawless. What you tell is useful and accurate. The animations are easy and light, the music is non distracting, extra point to have time to screenshot the summaery on the screen. I wnated to compliment on the effort you put in thease vids not just the knowledge you are providing with it! Keep up you going places! 😀

practicing problem and teaching is the key 6:15 passive learning

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information! I've struggled with studying for a long time, and your three C's approach really resonates with me.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your content. I've been following you for a long time and I want you to know that I'm not only enjoying the improvement that I see in myself, but also yours. I've been loving the new edditing styles lately and I really think you're doing a great job with these. Also the Zelda reference are great, I'm a big fan myself. Much love! And keep up the good work! 💚

Thank you so much. Just realized I was studying wrongly and wasting time. I'll definitely use this method and bring feedback when I write my tests. ✌️😚

Who else watching these videos instead of studying

It's such a simple analogy..collect, connect, challenge... thank you so much Cajun 😊

having an exam tommorrow and super stressed rn, then stumbled upon ur video. thank god! the unconfort was killing me but that's what u said make us win so I'm gonna keep grinding and kill it tomorrow. Wish me luck. =D

short, thorough, to the point THE TYPE OF VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR

Thanks for the video! Using these techniques tonight :) Honestly the most difficult part of learning for me are the starting and stopping. I struggle to start, because I dread the experience of sitting still and reading for hours. If I do somehow get myself into studying idk when to stop. Sometimes pushing myself to the point I pass out at my table. Maybe that is why I hate starting? o.o

Hey! It's the first time I visit this channel and I loved it! See I came here looking for ways to study more effectively because I'm into an industrial engineering course, and I've been using his techniques for a week now and I'm seeing some good results. Getting out of my comfort zone when studying actually has made me feel like I'm truly learning what I'm being taught, instead of memorizing things up for the exam. (Something supremely important ever since I'm supposed to use what I learn in college at an actual factory in the near future 😅)

This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!

I really like your videos. They're fascinating and full of facts. Glad to have you on U tube

the skill of learning is very important but the world does not openly talk about it. Thank you so much man it really helps!!!

Thank you very much I’ll follow this process I’m sure it’ll work very well coming from you

Amazing video thanks. Really puts life into perspective

Thanks for all of your advices.

The most effective video I've been looking for. 🤧❤️ Thank you so much 🙏🏻

i love the visual learning approach with this channels graphics, it conveys the information so i actually get what you're saying!

this honestly helps ,organize my studying thanks!

Thanks for this video. Loved the theory you explained for better studying ❤❤

This is currently my biggest issue right now. Even though I'm already a senior in college, I'll try to end on a good note. This is very helpful, Thank you!!

Literally love the videos of you guys idk how to thank you in words but you made my learning so good and made me fall in love ❣️ with it like it nope love it 😍 anyways keep going guys best of luck

Wow, I thought studying is only about collecting information but your video made me realise that I'm collecting without fully understanding and I never connect things they're always seperated on my mind oh my god this explain a lot, thank you sir.

Really interesting, you also did a video on how to use the t tree method. Honestly I wish you uploaded in my earlier years of college because the t tree method would be so useful. Also I like your take that studying smart is important than working hard. I think education needs to change because they’re outdated we need more people like you that can change the way students study and learn.

The ideas in this video really resonated with me.

Wow thanks! Helped! I usually shy away from "how to study videos " when I look them up because the intro is ling and the video in general and etc but this helped !!

Thank you for this very much! I could never remember what I read or understand a week back. The key part I was missing was the connect process. Which is very important. Cause I used to read alot, "collect" and also worked on challenging problems. But never realized "Connect" is very important for long term memory retention. I think I'll give maps a try and see how this goes! Thanks!

When I first enrolled in university back in 2020, I felt like it would be like high school, and I would just laze around doing what I love. Reality really hit me hard, however, and I mostly got just-above passing grades. I regretted my actions up until my second-year, and now I’m going to make up for all the failed subjects as a result of my unchecked actions. I’d probably not delay any further had I seen your videos sooner.

these videos are such high quality i hope this channel truly blows up

Thank you so much for giving this idea 🤠

Can you make a video on ultimate study guide 2023 - 24 very briefly including all techniques and strategies all through the years that you have learnt.

Thank you so much for this , I will put this into practice!!

Such a helpful video!! You asked for suggestions on what topics to cover in future videos, and I have an idea: I am a year 11 student about to start university in 2 years studying astrophysics or aerospace engineering. That translates to math math MATH and more MATH! 😂 Could you make a video about how to study the more practice-based subjects like math and physics? They feel really unique and it is sometimes hard to apply study tips/ methods. Thanks!

Spaced repetition helped me in tremendous ways and I owe that to this channel way back when they are Mike And Matty. 👍👍👍

Entering dental school in august , thanks for this tip . Wishing everyone the best , we got this .

Thanks for this video. It helps us learn things that are actually beneficial in our lives.

Greate video so helpful will try it. Keep up the good work!!

omgg!! your video was such an eye opener! im so grateful for you to have put in so much thought and effort to make this video!! the problems you discussed in the video were something i was desperately looking a solution for... these problems made me self doubt but now that i understand the science behind it i feel motivated to improve !! thankq so much once again :))

This is the single most important RU-vid channel in my life no kidding!

Amazing video! So inspiring!

it was great help, tommorow i have an entrance exam for engineering college, i was practicing problems that when i felt something is totally wrong with my understanding i am not even able to solve simple questions. I know tommorow exam will go literally bad, but i am going to apply this technique to my every new learning process. lets see how it works out, thanks

thank you very much! Your content is very to the point and precious thank u bhaiya love you 💓

Thank you, bro! You helped me. I will use it :)

Thank you sir, this information helps me lot.

as a person who sruggles with math/Home language learning, and given that im from one of the countries that has one of the hardest languages, i find this relaly helpful, thanks

Currently I am studying to become a pilot and a Cruise Captain and so I really needed this. Thank you me' heartie! Cheers matey! 🍻 👏 ✌ 🥂

If you haven't yet, I'm interested in doing self paced study programs and how to do that. I find if I'm in a course where they just tell me what to do it's easy. But if I'm just handed a textbook I have a hard time planning out my workload to prepare for the final test at the end to get my certifications.

Great Video man. Will def use this learning cycle.

Thanks it is truly helpful

No cap, one of, if not the best video about learning i've ever seen

another tip i reccomend is, in order to collect the right information you need to know what you don’t know first. i watched this studying for the SHSAT and i realized the major gap in my studying plan was that i’m relearning what i already know instead of using my time more efficiently

Great video ! Thanks.

You just saved me, thank you so much for sharing such useful tips. I'm going to try it right now

Wow nice explained thanks for the helpful information.

Wow this is crazy amazing. Incredible.

i was waiting for you to plug some type of program that you’d need to pay for advice like this, it never came. kudos to you for really teaching your findings for free here. that’s rare these days

❤ Big THANK YOU. Now I Can LEARN Effectively

Hey 👋 I'm from India and I'm also preparing for NEET(entrence exam for med college in India) I found your videos very informative and beneficial. Keep making video like this. Thankyou 😄

thank you a lot for this video I have just entered in college, in college teacher never provide notes just like school teacher , I just stressed because of study because I have done passive study in my life, your video teach me concept of active learning so l will never stressed about that. love you from India

Thanks it help me a lot very helpful This video helped me to open my mind and think more productively

Thank you for the video :)

Thank you so much!

Very helpful video! Made my studying more efficient May I ask if during the collecting phase can I not take notes? Then proceed to take notes during the Connect phase once I have figured out how to categorize and relate the topics and terms?

yeah i need a video on active learing the desirable difficulty kind of stuff.,the actual techniques that allow us to do that and the practical way of applying it with a simple analogy

🥰😂😂love this vidd men!! Ach so cool this channel☺️

Very nice vid, keep on the nice work!

Link and the ultrahand raft made me so happy.

The zelda reference is golden , keep the good work :D

I'm struggling with execution... you know the feeling where you have "planned" it all out, but DOING is hectic😢😢

Kinda feels like building a road system. 1. Create and place the buildings 2. Build the insections between buildings, (otherwise, pple get lost or traffic) 3. Run it, so that the cars smooth out the roads, and create traffic patterns.

Can you do a collab with Legal Eagle on studying in law school (or just a video specific to law school study)? I feel it's such a unique academic experience that it deserves its own video

ngl tis hella helpfull. Du gör got mannen!

Thank you for helping us

Gotta love the editing ❤

Love your videos guys. Please can I ask, what app do you use to take your notes? I am currently using Notability which I find ok but was just wondering if there is something better out there?

Your videos are amazing and helped me a lot but can you du a Video with the topic maths how do I learn best for a maths exam and how do I improve my maths skills? Such a video were great it might help others too

Thank you, I just started college 3 weeks ago and I want to learn and study seriously, but didn't really know how to study. After watching this video I realized how to actually study.

Wow, how do you make these wonderful video explanotories? Which software? Looks great

Hi I like your videos and its ideas but I always find it difficult to adapt these in my life so what should i do for it?

Hey! I been following your channel since so long! I just want to know what things you use for your video editing because it’s so good please do let me know!?❤

The edition is so dynamic, what kind of software do you guys use to create those graphics?

It’s Minute 6 for me! Thank you for the confirmation that even though it doesn’t feel great in the moment that is in fact proof that it’s working ❤

Hey mate, thank you for the video. I'm addicted to audio books on numerous amounts of topics. As a person that didn't finish highschool I never really learned how to study. My goal is to take the books I'm listening to and retain the information in a practical manner as I feel like once I've finished a book the knowledge just feels like a mish mash of information I'm not actually processing as well as I would like to. Do you have a video/course on how to achieve this?

Hey namastey from India!!! I suggest you to make a video on how one can discover his/her effective learning style.

This video is pure gold. Thank you Mike and Matty.

i have six subjects this semester. so much self-study to do. so much to remember. it's not that it's hard or something; just too much. each subject has at least 6-8 quizzes and 2-3 projects or presentations throughout the semester. i can't keep up with the speed. nothing works. i've made notes, filtered information, and connected everything. BUT STILL during quizzes, i always know the concepts, but i can't find the right words or exact scientific terms to define them. i tried the reverse study method as well where you review the chapter summary first, then side notes, and then each paragraph's first and last sentences. it didn't help. now my sleep cycle is messed up, and i'm always studying. my eyes hurt from excessive screen time, and i'm still not getting any grades. i'm a slow learner, and my focus span is extremely short. at this rate, i'll fail all my classes. i'm barely getting through my classes this semester. i'm open to any suggestions you may have for me to improve my situation thanks for reading this. everything has been so stressful lately im desperate to get good grades. please help

I'd love to know more about actual methods. E.g. do you create anki card and then just study them? If so, is it worth putting really a lot of time into anki cards to make them nice or is screenshotting something from a slide on there just good enough?

Hi! I was wondering if you compiled nearly all or all of your advice on studying and being generally productive in a no-BS book? I'm in grade 9 myself right now and i could use that advice to finally become a 100 percenter. Thank you.
